In Arabic, if you want to say “Yes”, you can simply say Na‘am (نَعَم) and if you want to say “No”, you say La (لا).
Example for “Yes; Na‘am (نَعَم)“
أهذا كتاب؟ (Ahadha kitābun?)
Is this a book?
نعم، هذا كتاب (Na‘am, hādhā kitābun)
Yes, this is a book.
Example for “No; La (لا)”
أهذا مسجد؟ (Ahadha masjidun?)
Is this a mosque?
ا، هذا بيت (Lā, hādhā baytun)
No, this is a house.
